Safety and Risks of Laser Tattoo Removal

At Ink Off, we prioritise safety, quality, and transparency in every laser tattoo removal treatment. Our goal is to provide a reliable and safe option for tattoo removal using the latest technology and highly trained professionals. Here’s what you need to know about the potential risks and how we help minimise them.

Understanding the Risks

1. Scarring

Scarring is uncommon with modern laser techniques but can occur if proper aftercare isn’t followed. Keeping the treated area clean, avoiding sun exposure, and refraining from picking at scabs or blisters helps reduce this risk. Following the recommended treatment schedule further minimises scarring potential.

2. Pigmentation Changes

Laser tattoo removal may occasionally cause temporary changes in skin pigmentation, including hypopigmentation (lightened skin) or hyperpigmentation (darkened skin). These effects are generally temporary and are more common in individuals with darker skin tones. In most cases, these pigmentation changes fade over time as the skin heals.

3. Incomplete Removal

Factors like ink type, colour, and depth affect how completely the tattoo can be removed. Darker inks, such as black and blue, tend to respond well to laser treatment, while lighter colours like green and yellow may require more sessions or specialised lasers. Expected outcomes will be discussed with you during your consultation so you can set realistic expectations.

4. Infection

Although rare, infection is a potential risk. Following our aftercare instructions—such as applying an antibiotic ointment and keeping the area clean and dry—greatly reduces this risk. Avoiding high-exposure environments (like pools or saunas) during healing is also essential.

At Ink Off, we take all necessary precautions to provide a safe and comfortable experience. Here’s how we help minimise potential risks:

FAQs

Your Questions Answered: Clarity on Your Journey to Clear Skin

How many sessions will it take to remove my tattoo?

The cost depends on the size and detail of the tattoo and the number of sessions you will need. Ask us about our $25 per week total removal package.

How many sessions will it take to remove my tattoo?

The number of sessions required can vary depending on the size, location, ink depth, and colors of the tattoo. Generally, it could take anywhere from 5 to 17 sessions, but we will provide you with a more personalized estimate during your first consultation.

Is the laser tattoo removal process painful?

Clients typically experience some discomfort, akin to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. However, we use cooling techniques to ease pain and can discuss additional numbing options if you have concerns.

What are the risks of tattoo removal?

Common risks include infection, hypo- or hyperpigmentation, and incomplete removal of the tattoo. We take strict precautions to minimize risks, including using state-of-the-art equipment and maintaining a sterile environment.

How long should I wait between removal sessions?

We generally recommend waiting about 6 to 8 weeks between sessions. This interval allows your skin to heal and your body to flush out ink particles, maximizing the effectiveness of subsequent sessions.

Can you remove all colors of ink?

Most colors can be removed, with black being the easiest to treat. Lighter colors, such as yellows and pastels, are more challenging but not impossible. We evaluate the spectrum of inks in your tattoo and discuss realistic outcomes during your initial assessment.

What should I do to care for my skin after a removal session?

After each session, it is crucial to keep the treated area clean, dry, and protected from the sun. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific case, including recommended products for promoting healing and comfort.
